Church and Postwar
v "Tlie churches are taking a great interest in the conditions that will develop after thej war, and the efforts, to be
.made for some system to maintain permanent peace, many
of-their poeple are writing to the members of congress ex-
'pressing their views, and many more will do so. The influence
of --these organizations will be powerful in the peace settlements.
They ask for such plans and programs as shall be consistent with Christian principles. They predict that if these
^rrangeitients do not show some adherence.to these ideas
* aBft.Conformity to the Golden Rule enunciated by Jesus, the
peace ."will not be lasting and resentment and bitterness will
J eventually break out in new wars.
•-*••*-" 'Tt Is "hard enough to get these Christian principles exemplified in. ordinary daily life, and it may be still more difficult to induce.people to apply them in relations with foreign
countries. . This war is giving a shocking demonstraton of
what happens if nations allow selfishness and anger to obscure-considerations of kindness and generosity. It would
seem as if all nations should be willing to make almost any
sacrifice-to avoid new wars. _
--' Some "kindhe'arted people may advocate friendly and
. generaus .treatment of onr enemies with the hope that this
wdlL-arouse their better natures and lead them to respond by
willingnesfe to live in peace and cooperation. The Germans
and.JapSs have become imbued witih the idea that wars are
a-paying proposition, the nations make progress by getting
superior warraakihg power, and using it to attack and oppress" and their neighbors. It will be necessary to take stern
enough measures, so that those countries wil not be able* to
rearm and start some terrible third war.
:-'~ Christian principles would allow .these nations a fair
sam"*dTi'*£* of economic prospeiity after the war, -'so* long as
tHey behave themselves and keep the peace. If they are poor
and miserable they are more likely to want to fight.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
The alarm which was rung in Monday morning was a false alarm due
to overzealousness of some bystander. It is hoped that,', in the future,
certainty of the presence of fire be
ascertained before ringing in an
alarm. While your volunteer .firemen stand .ready at'all times to protect the "lives and property of your
citizens, it means a great loss of
time as well as gas and tires, in these
days of rationing, when a false alarm*
is turned, in. We are reminded of
the story of the boy. who cried;
"Wolf! Wolf!" and when the real
worf' came there were no woodsmen
to» slay it, , y „., _
